What happens when you combine the perfect latte with life-changing cybersecurity advice? Welcome to the very first episode of SipCyber! Jennifer Lotze kicks things off at Backstory Coffee Roasters in St. Paul, Minnesota—a hometown hero just three minutes from IT Audit Labs that's roasting beans and building community.

But here's the kicker: while you're sipping that incredible coffee and swiping your card, criminals might be targeting the people with the cleanest credit scores. That means babies (who are born with perfect credit) and grandparents (who've paid off their homes) are prime targets.

Today's decaffeinated cyber tip: Credit freezing—the digital "do not enter" sign that stops identity thieves cold, even if they have your Social Security number.

Key Topics: • Why Backstory Coffee Roasters is more than just great coffee • The shocking truth about who criminals target for identity theft

• How to freeze your credit with all four bureaus (yes, there's a fourth one) • Why this simple step protects your entire family • Pro tips for unfreezing when you actually need credit
